Quick Release strap system reliability?

I had read that there were early problems with the system's reliability.
Have these been addressed and is this covered under warranty?

Did some google searching but most of the articles/posts are a few years old at this point.

Not trying to overthink this but am curious, as I have been changing straps a couple of times a week since watch is still new and have been going a bit overboard with new straps

Mine is 11 years old with countless (easy) strap changes. Knock on wood, no issues. Only pleasure.

Presumably, if it goes wrong, though, it’s a case change. Not cheap.

What year did they introduce the quick release strap? Does my 233 have this?

Quick search says yes, Look for round button on the back of the lugs.
If so, I suggest a quick youtube search for video regarding strap change.

Should have come with plastic tool to do this (assuming you bought with box).

Edit: I bought back up tool off of E Bay as I broke one of the tips on the original (although original still works)
